and a clean new 500 GB hard drive to install exp on. I went to the link on how to Slipstream (unsure of what slipstream means as far as computers go), but well all I have is a blank floppy disk. I can actually do this IF I had the correct drivers. It states I need to load SATA drivers for XP. I apologize for my ignorance but I must ask why the following was at the top *and I have SATA as stated, not RAID). I built the system myself and I believe just booted the XP disk and did partition and format. Or I don't remember such when i had the fresh new drive. However, I'd have to choose in the BIOS which i would boot to. my original XP drive was plugged into SATA 1 and the Win 7 drive was on SATA 2. I'm also concerned one of the ports may be bad (SATA1) but I am unsure how to determine that. Hawkeye22 I did appreciate your post on that.
